Exemplary Romantic novelists Ann Radcliffe, Sir Walter Scott, and
Mary Shelley were likewise keen tourists and influential
contributors to the discourse of Romantic tourism. The shaping
power of this discourse--already highly developed in poetry, travel
literature, and the visual arts by the time they began
writing--affected not only what they saw and felt on tour but also
how they imagined their greatest novels. Defining both tour and
novel as privileged spaces exempt from the boring routines and
hampering contingencies of ordinary life, these authors as well as
many of their contemporaries and early Romantic predecessors
effectively brought the tour into fiction and fiction into the
tour.
This is the first extended study of the intimate connections
between these two major cultural innovations of the later
eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and the first to pay
close attention to the active commerce, the fluid interplay, within
the larger discourse of Romantic tourism, between British Romantic
fiction, poetry, tour books, landscape painting, and book
illustration (as exemplified by the collaboration between Scott and
J. M. W. Turner).
